you'll taste red apple before jasmine. this is colombia . rio bamisa, an anaerobic colombia from qima cafe.
expect red apple, jasmine, and floral top notes with a black tea quality that makes the cup feel clean and tea-like rather than heavy or syrupy.
it comes from huila, colombia, and is processed anaerobically, meaning the coffee cherry ferments in a sealed, oxygen-free environment, which intensifies fruit and floral flavors in the final cup.
filter methods like pour over or aeropress suit this coffee well, as they highlight its lighter body and tea-like clarity, use water around 92-94c and a medium-fine grind.
qima cafe sits on warren street like it's been waiting for you to find it. the 4.8-star rating from nearly 500 reviews tells one story, but the real narrative happens when you taste what they're doing with their beans. this isn't the kind of place that talks endlessly about their process. they just do the work. the espresso pulls clean and bright, with the kind of balance that makes you understand why people become coffee obsessives. pastries arrive warm from wherever they source them, pairing beautifully with whatever's in your cup. regulars know the rhythm here. they've found something that works and they stick with it. warren street has plenty of options, but qima operates differently than the chains surrounding it. smaller batches, more attention, actual care in every pour. sometimes the best places are the ones that don't need to shout about what they're doing.
